MapDescription
This is rated 5.9 in The Grand Junction Climbing guidebook. The FAist is not listed.
This is harder than 5.9, and there is need for gear up to a #8...the final 15 feet is a squeeze chimney (I'm 5.3 and 130 lbs). Rap from a slung chockstone.
If you climb deeper inside the "Rat Trap", you will be caught in a constriction higher up. Squeeze up the outside of the chimney to top out.
Location
This is just left of the A that makes P1 of
Titus Groan
.
Protection
2x #3 to #5, plus some slings for the chockstones, finally a #7 and #8, and this will be sewn up.
